Boston, day lost count
Aug. 3rd, 2006 03:59 pmSIGGRAPH is now over - as I type the gang are breaking down and striking their stuff from the show floor. They'll be done in probably three hours - I feel real sorry for the people who had booths with components big enough to ship here in friggin crates. I'm pretty glad it's done - three days of crazy drooling geekage is quite enough. :)
Ran into Melissa from WAG there today though! She's in town shopping her resume around. Which is wicked cool, since she was one of the best 3d people we had in there at one time. Glad she's at least attempting to parlay that into a career. She says hi (to relevent folk) and to pretty please not kill her for not being in touch, and maybe we should have a WAG reunion at the next SIGGRAPH in San Diego. Heh.
I turn into a real bitch if I haven't had caffiene. no seriously, all week, I've been getting by on these piddleshit little cups of coffee and the occasional pepsi and waking up too early and taking the obvious detriment to my mood out on Carole. Then I have a large Dunkin Donuts coffee with way too much sugar and it was like someone flipped the on switch to my normal personality. Yikes. Speaking of which, we caught anzovin drinking a diet pepsi today on the show floor. THINK OF THE GLACIERS, PEOPLE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BABY SEALS YOU ARE KILLING WITH YOUR HEEDLESS CONSUMPTION OF THE WRONG TYPES OF BEVERAGES FOR YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE???
One cool thing that happened in the past 24 hours was that an offhand comment C made about characters in a world I was slowly building for one of my stories sparked me to think about them more, and at one point this afternoon I sat down and spewed a whole bunch of ideas into my laptop, and today I spent a good amount of time thinking about characters. though admittedly I was quite heavily influenced by my environment seeing as I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to model them as well.
C and I are being extremely lazy and hanging around the hotel. We head back tomorrow. Sweet buttery home sweet home, freshly heatwave free.
